However, the old couple don't ask much about outside affairs, but the younger generations of the family all know that the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and it may not be long before there is another national mourning.
Su Yi was as careful as his hair, and he felt that something was wrong.
Most of the people at home are women and children, and the children are still very young. If there is a sudden change in Kyoto and a war breaks out, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.
That's why Jiang Yu proposed that he and his fourth brother take their families to Fengyue Villa to stay away from the limelight.
It is said that Fengyue Villa is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are many experts there. It is indeed the best place to take refuge.
Without waiting for Father Su and Mother Su to say anything, the eldest brother spoke directly:
"Just as A Yu said, you pack your things as soon as possible, travel as lightly as possible, don't be too arrogant, and leave in several groups. I will send someone to inform the second brother and ask the second brother and sister to come back first with little Yuan Zhi and follow you. Go to Fengyue Villa."
The eldest brother understood Jiang Yu's intention almost immediately. Jiang Yu must have confirmed some information to make this decision, so what he had to do was to dispel the doubts of his family and let them follow the arrangement.
Since the head of the family has spoken, Su's father and Su's mother naturally have no objections.
However, Shen Qingli, who was still pregnant, was a little worried and looked at Su Jing worriedly.
Su Jing reached out and held her hand, squeezing it gently in her palm, silently comforting her.
In the end, it was decided that except for Su Jing, Su Mu and Su Chen, the rest of the family would go to Fengyue Villa.
Su Wan also stayed, and she asked her mother and sisters-in-law to help her take good care of Chengyi.
Because there were a lot of people, a lot of children, a lot of things, and a lot of nannies to take with them, the team was relatively large, so they decided to leave the city in several batches in a low-key manner.
Fortunately, Su Chen is the general of the city defense battalion. Under his management, it is very convenient to leave the city without attracting any attention.
Jiang Yu reminded them again and again, asking them to bring as little stuff as possible and travel lightly. Fengyue Villa would prepare whatever they needed.
Jiang Yunhe has also arranged a place to stay. He will send someone to pick him up on the way to ensure that the Su family arrives safely.
On the day of leaving, Su Wan packed Chengyi's things and repeatedly told the nannies not to let him out of her sight on the way. The nannies also swore that they would protect the young prince's safety to the death.
Chengyi was very well-behaved and didn't cry or make a fuss when leaving. He quietly let his mother hold him for a while. Before getting on the carriage, he lay on the nanny's shoulder and kept looking at his father and mother who were watching them off.
Su Wan was very reluctant to let go. After becoming a mother, her personality became more sensitive. Now that her son was still so young and had to be away from him for such a long time, he was afraid that in a few months, the little boy would not recognize him and stop kissing him. .
After the carriage left, her eyes became moist and her nose was sour.
Jiang Yu noticed her reluctance and put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her:
"Be good, I sent him away to protect him. We will be reunited soon."
Su Wan nodded, but couldn't help but sigh.
The two huge mansions became completely deserted after they left, no longer as lively as before.
The journey from Kyoto to Zhongzhou is a bit smoother, and it will take half a month if you don't rush. After all, the children in the team are still young and cannot withstand the high-intensity running. They stop and stop along the way. By the time they arrive at Fengyue Villa, it will be twenty days later. .
But here in Kyoto, when the Holy Emperor was sick and could only lie in bed, the prince issued an order to summon all the feudal princes to return to the capital.
They are all the sons of the emperor, so it is natural for them to return to the capital at this time.
The weather has been bad in recent days, the sky is always covered with dark clouds, and the heavy rain looks like it will stop falling. The palace is enveloped in a very depressing atmosphere.
In Kyoto, there is a feeling that a storm is coming.
Half a month later, the vassal kings arrived in Kyoto one after another. They were not allowed to bring weapons into Kyoto. They were stopped when they passed the city gate. Su Chen personally guarded the city gate to check and did not allow any batch of weapons to enter.
Princess Jin was said to be in poor health, so she did not return to the capital with Prince Jin. The concubine Gu Yue came with him.
Gu Yue and Murong Sheng were sitting in the carriage. When it was her turn, Su Chen stood aside on horseback while the soldiers opened their boxes and checked them one by one.
Gu Yue opened the curtain and looked at Su Chen. She smiled and said hello:
"General Su, long time no see."
Su Chen heard the sound and glanced over lightly. He didn't dismount, but directly clasped his fists on the horse:
"Welcome King Jin."
She is just a concubine, and now that he is a third-grade Pingwei general, he naturally does not need to salute her.
In the past few years, Gu Yue has not changed much. She no longer calls them brother for nothing like before, but instead calls him General Su.
Because she knew that the Su family could never go back to the past with her.
But if it comes to fruition, she will consider letting the Su family go, excluding Su Wan, just because of her upbringing.
Over the years, Gu Yue has been making waves in Jin, and she has set her position very high.
The name of the princess is no longer important to her, as long as she has the right to speak.
After collecting all the weapons, Su Chen let them enter Kyoto.
All the vassal kings arrived one after another, and the prince held a reception banquet to simply entertain these royal brothers.
Jiang Yu and Su Wan attended and sat across from Gu Yue.
Gu Yue looked at her with a smile and raised a glass to herself from afar, smiling.
After not seeing each other for a few years, she seems more confident and calmer.
Su Wan also raised his glass in return as a courtesy.
As expected at the banquet, the prince and several vassal princes spoke with guns and sticks in a strange manner. Only King Yong and King Qi were quieter and did not get involved, trying to reduce their presence.
However, Murong Huai was in the debate team of the university and he also knew a lot about yin and yang literature. In addition, he had been in charge of government affairs in the past few years and listened to the bickering among these veterans every day. He had learned a lot.
One on two, they don't fall behind. It's interesting to see their yin and yang.
During the midfield, Su Wan got tired from sitting, so she got up and went out to catch the wind. She missed her son a little. When she heard that they had arrived at Fengyue Villa safely, her heart was settled.
Gu Yue saw her coming out and followed her:
"How have you been, Princess, these past few years?"
Su Wan heard the sound and knew it was her without looking:
"It's good. The family is harmonious and everything is going well. Where is Concubine Gu? She seems to be doing well. Why don't you go to Beijing with Princess Jin this time?"
She deliberately mentioned Zhao Hui and emphasized her tone of concubine Gu. Gu Yue cared about her status, didn't she?
But she still underestimated Gu Yue. Over the years, she had reflected on herself and realized that if she wanted to achieve great things, many emotions should not be shown clearly on her face.
"Since the princess went to the fiefdom, she has not adapted to the local environment. She has been in poor health. In addition, she misses her family and her health has been poor. She is not suitable for long journeys, so the prince did not take her with him."
